Adult Tricycle?

So, I'm browsing Craigslist, as I am wont to do, when I came across the following:

This was listed under sporting goods, which I suppose it is. However, I'm not sure if he had another ad requesting adult diapers under general.

But I figured it would be rude to ask that, so instead, I sent this e-mail:

Hi, I saw your post on Craigslist. I don't actually have an adult tricycle, but I was curious about them and figure you might have some information. If you can answer any or all of these questions, it would be much appreciated!

1) What exactly is an adult tricycle?
2) What are the benefits over a traditional bicycle?
3) Would you assume you would get strange looks riding it around outside?
4) Is it possible to put shocks and/or pegs on an adult tricycle?

Thanks for your time and best luck on your quest!!

And this morning, I open my e-mail and have this response:

Here you go:
1) What exactly is an adult tricycle? - Click: http://www.jvbike.com/trikes.htm
2) What are the benefits over a traditional bicycle? - They're cool!
3) Would you assume you would get strange looks riding it around outside? - I get strange looks anyway?
4) Is it possible to put shocks and/or pegs on an adult tricycle? - Some may already come with them?

Fascinating! So, if you see some weird-o, riding around on an adult trike with shocks and pegs, make sure you've packed your adult diapers, because you're in for a WILD RIDE!!!
